Comment on FTP Must Die

Comments

Does nobody use rsync? I see no mention in the comments here (and the original site is down).

There's a few command line parameters to learn, but after that it is so simple, efficient and reliable that there is no need for a GUI client such as the various FTP FTP clients. I typically write scripts for specific purposes, syncing only the files that have changed. Using my SSH key means I don't have to type the password all the time.
